Melrose x The Mysterious Mr. Black - An Evening of Wine, Mystery & Magic 🍷🍽️
Thursday 31st July | 6:00pm arrival for 6:30pm seating - 9.30pm
Join us for an exclusive one-night-only wine dinner experience where vibrant Pan-Asian flavours meet bold, small-batch Barossa Valley wines in an unforgettable rooftop collaboration between Melrose Restaurant and The Mysterious Mr. Black & Conspirators.
Back in '98, the elusive Stephen Black and a wild crew of grape-growing misfits farmers, philosophers, and a few dyslexic fiends shook red-stained hands by the fire and started something special: a rebellious little winery making small-batch, high-quality wine from the Barossa’s finest vines.
These days, Mr. Black is harder to find than a sober poet in Spain, but his legacy lives on. His sons, Charlie & Joe, are now stirring the pot, working with the same legendary fruit and a loyal crew of Conspirators creating bold, beautiful wines that honour the past and push things forward.
Same vineyards. Same black magic. New hands on the cauldron.
Let Head Chef Will guide you through a stunning 4-course shared style menu, perfectly paired with 7 unique wines, while winemaker Charlie Black takes you behind the label with captivating stories, wine wisdom, and a little mystery from the dark corners of the Barossa.
